I would have liked Conte as I believe that he would fit us currently and address some of our major issues (poor defensive setup and physical condition). I also think our current squad would perform better generally in a 352 formation, which what Conte prefers. However, Conte's stubbornness might...

There is no need to rush him, he should take his time to fully recover.

He would be a great addition in the summer for a reasonable fee (has to be cheaper than Kounde).

I am not optimistic about hiring Xavi, but I do not believe we currently have better options.

Getting rid of RK will not address any of our issues. I think we could have handled the situation a lot better.

I hope to see him play at CDM with the new manager, I think he would play a lot better there. A bit too much to expect a defensive player to create something for you.

My country bought a club, let us go :rockon: seriously though, I am a little bit concerned because that is not a good sign for Barca. Hopefully, we recover soon and survive our current situation.

I am impressed yet again. I thought their collapse was inevitable two seasons ago, they are still going strong. However, I am pretty confident that I will get it right eventually if I keep predicting their fall each new season :lol:

I do not feel confident with Laporta at all. Plenty of worrying decisions.

Now to put pressure on some players to cut some of their wages particularly those who decided to stay to be paid handsomely. Do not forget to leak updates to maintain pressure. My overall thoughts, Laporta was a sniff below average. Could have done better but did not have plenty of options...

Did he play under RK with the national team? if he did, how was he? cannot remember any match.

Madrid managed to sell Reguilon for 30m while also having a buyback option. Something to think about.

Just pulling numbers out of nowhere because I do not feel fascinated to look them up (more of a venting post rather than make a point for a discussion), we got rid of 40m in wages (Griezmann earns less than that probably) while we pay about and at the very least 18m (I would say around 25m) for...

So hard not to be pessimistic. I am truly impressed by how we managed to further weaken our squad, and what makes our current situation worse is that we cannot unfortunately measure the financial impact of what we have done reliably.

Will wait a bit for deals to be finalized before I share my opinion. So far, and according to the recent reports, Laporta did not do as well as I thought he was going to. I expected a lot better from him since he got experience on his side.

What an ugly game that one was.

So bad.

I think Conte is a great option. We are weak both on and off the pitch, Conte should help us with that, particularly our defensive setup + the fact that we do not have actual wingers (will most likely play 352). That is a possibility.

Totally. A bit too demanding and vocal about that, not an easy option, but could be worth it. Messi made us forget the need for a manager the past what 5 seasons? I am tired of taking risks with potential good managers, I think it is time for us to get a world-class one.

The same issue as last season, the team have been struggling to create chances and will continue to do so unless they add new players.
